We've been meaning to get around to it, but we're in a sticky situation. The account that originally uploaded the videos (ddcollabs aka Animator Network) made DMCA claims on their own videos, which is why they're blocked. We have reason to suspect it was the last person who owned the site, since they bought everything including the channel.

When YouTube works with copyright claims it means they'll usually side with the original uploader, which means that if the date we uploaded is after the date it originally was, they'll think we stole it if it matches up with the original. Staff would need to get in touch with Google themselves about this whole fiasco.

Unfortunately, the only way to see all of the collabs would be if the owner was willing to unblock them. That probably won't ever happen. As I said, staff would need to get in touch with Google somehow. Lawyers could even get involved and it's just an insane amount of hassle that should never have come about.

It doesn't for me, Toast, your country is p chill about copyright, mine isn't. and neither is the UK, AUS, and maybe the EU. . . But I can't watch the old DDCs because copyright shit. I really hate youtube.

@Joji: TY for the link, it doesn't have everything, but its an amazing start. Kind of unfortunate that there was a dupe in one of the links. I had the video for the DBC, but I wanna watch all the ddcs again.

Isn't there some way to fight this shit? What's the deal with Animator.net and who owns it? When my flame was dying, I didn't exactly keep up with DD, seems like I missed alot.

Why doesn't someone who can view all of the old videos just download them with some sort of app (You can even do this on a phone) and someone can add some sort of watermark or even go as far as reversing the picture so that we can all see them again.

I'm pretty sure that's what Juke was just insinuating in the comment above yours. We've talked about adding them to our new channel before.
